TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a management method and a management system for managing a telecommunications network. The system comprises a database including information about the managed network, said information being in the form of objects that relate to the network elements to be managed and in the form of references between the different objects, said references indicating the dependencies between the objects. To provide a rapidly operating system in which arbitrary circular dependencies between the objects can easily be coped with to decide when an object can be unlocked to allow any part of the system to change said object, an auxiliary data structure that has no cyclic dependencies between its objects is added to the system and this auxiliary data structure is utilized to decide when an object can be unlocked.
